ABOUT THE INSTITUTE:

The Institute for Innovation in Social Policy devotes
its full capacity to the analysis and publication of social indicators. Established
in 1985, the Institute has worked on social indicators at the national, state,
and international levels as a way to improve the reporting and understanding
of social conditions. The Institute’s work has had significant impact
on public policy, public education, and the academic community.

Since its inception, the Institute has released numerous social indicator
reports and working papers. The Institute staff also collaborated on a book,
entitled The Social Health of the Nation, published by Oxford University
Press, as well as articles in journals and other publications. In addition,
over the past decade, the Institute has conducted eight national conferences
on social health and social indicators.
